A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I mean the origins are relevant when the person I was directly responding to originally did not make that distinction. Even if we were talking in the broader sense, the origins ALWAYS matter because it can tell you a lot about how things progress and change. The interactions with various different groups or variables. I'm going to go ahead and make sure I'm at least aware of their origins so I can say that i'm educated on the subject instead of blindly stumbling around sharing misinformation.
Also, maybe don't jump into the middle of someone elses conversation and then try to dictate what is and isn't relevant to it. You are not part of it and you do not get a say. I'm out.
